I hang my 7yo from the same trees I'm on and under the same tarp. Every now and then he climbs into my hammock, but usually I just put a hand on him if he starts to get restless and it settles him down. Might be worth trying it with your son at home a few times so he can get comfortable with it, then see how it works in the field.

At worst, he'll sleep with you in your hammock...not a huge problem with my 7yo, but YMMV of course.

P.S. Unless you're using a HH, I guess...forgot about that. I've been in homemade Speers w/o bugnet.

“Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.” ~Judge Joseph Story
